Industry Aids South’s Large Boom Daily lMsp iKTi Bureau, In ihfi Sir Walter Jtiotei. Raleigh, Oct. 10.—North .Caro lina’s industries shared heavily in the South’s September construction boom, with more than a million dollars spent or to be spent in new construction and expansion of ex isting plants, according to figures compiled by the Manufacturers Record, Southern business publi cation. Seven projects alone accounted for almost SBOO,OOO during the month, with the balance made up of smaller projects scattered all over the State.

Neutrals In Europe Watch Soviet Moves Stockholm, Sweden, Oct. 10.— (AP) —Europe’s northern neutrals anxiously watched the approaching showdown between Soviet Russia and Finland today for a further sign of the new order in the Bal tic region. Confronted by Russia’s request for supremacy on that section, the nations that have not already signed on the Soviet dotted line were drawn together in a meeting at Helsinking on how to sidestep the war and carry on their vital com merce in the Baltic and the North Sea. Sweden, ar.ide from Finland the most immediately concerned in the expansion of Soviet power, strengthened her defense forces and hastened construction of air raid structures. Finland herself practiced air de fense, while a delegation entrained last night for Moscow, in response to the Kremlin’s invitation—as Fin nish officials put it—to exchange opinions about political and eco nomic problems. The problems were not specified. “Never shall our land bow be fore the foreign tyrant”, sang the crowd at Helsinking station last night as the delegation set out. It was part of the national anthem of a people Russia ruled until 1917. Lays Blame For Strife Upon Allies Opens Winter Relief Drive With Demand For Record Support As Proof to World of German Unity; Says Germany Won’t Lose. Berlin, Oct. 10.—(AP)—Adolf Hitler declared today that Germany was determined to fight the war to The bitter end, if necessary, and once more laid the responsibility for continuing the struggle on the Reich’.' adversaries. In a 21-minute speech opening the Nazi winter relief campaign, the Reichfuehrer said that he had expressed his country’s “readiness for peace”, but that if this were declined by the western Allies, the fight would go on. The winter relief work, he de manded, must attain results never before achieved, not only because great tasks lie ahead, created by the war, but also because the world must be shown, he said, that rum ors of disunion within the Reich are unfounded. Germans must make common cause, the fuehrer said, in battle, in victory, and finally, in peace.” “Germany must, once and for all, convince the world that it must be allowed to live undisturbed within its own living space.” “In a few weeks, the state which thought it could threaten German interests most insolently (Poland) has been demolished—thanks to our soldiers and our military strategy”, the fuehrer declared. “What the future may bring we do not know, but of this we are certaih. No power on earth ever again will be able to force Germany to her knees. “They will not defeat us mili tarily, economically or psychically.” Tremendous cheering greeted this declaration. Roosevelt’s Forces Win In Skirmish Defeat Republican Attempt to Separate Shipping Provisions And Embargo Repeal From Neutrality Act Now Being Debated. Washington, Oct. 10. —(AP) — Ad ministration forces in the Senate de feated today a motion to separate shipping provisions of the neutrality bill from the arms embarLgo repeal issue There was a division of opinion among leaders as to whether the ad ministration’s victory could be counted a test of strength on the neu trality bill itself —the most contro versial section of which is that pro viding repeal of the present embargo on arms. Majority Leader Barkley, Demo-, crat, Kentucky, told reporters he re garded the vote as a measuring stick, but Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, a leader of the opposition in the neutrality fight, said it could not be so considered. The motion to split up the bill was made by Senator Tobey, Republican, New Hampshire. He proposed to send the measure back to the foreign re lations committee, with instructions to write two bills—one the embargo repeal, and the other setting forth restrictions on American shipping and travel to belligerents. Tobey wanted action on the latter provisions, which would prohibit American vessels from car rying any goods to warring countries. He contended that procedure would not forestall early action on repeal ing the arms embargo, a move re i commended by President Roosevelt.

Numerous Assaults By Germans Routed By French Soldiers Paris, Oct. 10.—(AP- French troops were reported today to have turned back numerous German as saults south of the city of Saar bruecken with hand grenades and rifle fire. The Nazi thrusts, these reports in dicated, apparently were aimed at breaking French ones tightening on three sides of Saarbruecken. German raiding parties also sought to take prisoners to obtain information on French advanced positions, it was said. In both objectives, French dis patqhes said, the Germans failed. Tjie Germans were said to have fought desperately before retiring under a raking fire. Saarbruecken, rich German industrial city, around Adolf Hitler Despised On Capitol Hill By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Oct. 10.—Undoubtedly more senators, representatives ana officials of the executive end of the government were out of bed at 6 a. m. on Oct. 6 than ever before in all Washington’s h is tory. Congressmen in particular nor mally are not very early risers. Usual ly they don’t con vene until noon, and it takes some thing more em phatic than a mere _ , . rooster’s crow to Senator Sheppard teifninate their slumbers before 10 or 11 o’clock. But this was a special occasion. They wanted to hear that speech of Herr Hitler’s as it came in over the radio. That a lot of them did hear it thus, I know for a fact. Having arisen my self at the unearthly hour mentioned for the same purpose as the lawmak ers, I got down to the Capitol—l (Continued on Page Three) Oxford Refunding Bonds Are Sold by State Commission Raleigh, Oct. 10.—(AP) —The Lo cal Government Commission today sold $9,000 Oxford water refunding bonds to R.

A heavy artillery battle launched by the Germans Sunday and an swered by French batteries in a 90- mile sector from the Luxembourg border to Lauderbourg, provided a background for the action. Terse reports of the fighting were contained in a communique issued this morning by the French general stall, which said that “enemy patrols are still very active, notably east and west of the Saar.” The communique noted “reciprocal artillery action in the same regions.” Both the French and Germans were reported moving up additional munitions. Chamberlain On Thursday Gives Answer London, Oct. 10.—(AP) —Prime Minister Chamberlain today post poned from Wednesday until Thurs day the House of Commons speech, in which he is expected to reply to Adolf Hitler’s peace overtures. Sir John Simon, chancellor of the exchequer, told Commons that the postponement had been decided on in order to allow fuller consultations with the dominion governments. The prime minister’s speech thus is scheduled for the same day David Lioyd George, Britain’s World War px'ime minister, has called a meet ing of his council for peace and re construction. Lloyd George has advocated an international conference to settle the European issues.

The speech was described in advance as an answer to Adolf Hitler’s peace proposals. “The French”, Daladier said, were “willing to make .sacrifices for the safety of western civilization. Neith er France nor Great Britain has embarked on any war of conquest. They accepted that war because Germany wanted to impose domi nation of Europe. “Austria was one of the first milestones in Germany’s conquest. The peace that Germany offers now is one of ruse and violence.

Finns Told To Evacuate Capital City Interior Minister Says Measure Only “Precautionary”, But Sooner Done The Better; Mission On Way to Moscow Par ley. Helsinki, Finland, Oct. 10.—(AP) —All civilians who can go were urged to make immediate prepara tions to leave the environs ol' Hel sinki and Viipuri in a broadcast to night by Minister of the Interior Urho Kejkonen. He said the measure was purely precautionary, but the sooner carried out the better. The warning was given as a Finnish mission was on its way to Moscow at the invitation of the Sov iet Russian government to discuss unspecified economic and political problems. Russia has gained sweep ing concessions from similar mis sions, from smaller Baltic states. The Finnish mission is expected to reach the Soviet capital tomorrow. Viipuri is a port on the Gulf of Finland, almost directly north of Leningrad. (Russian warships were reported massed today at Kronstadt, huge naval base near Leningrad, and hundreds of thousands of Russian troops arc on the frontiers of the Baltic states.) Even before the interior minister’s broadcast, trains and buses were crowded with women and children leaving Helsinki for the country and the railroads added extra trains. The radio and newspapers have been instructing the populace in air defense measures, and volunteers have been flocking to the civil de fense service.
